On the quality of commercial chemical vapour deposited hexagonal boron nitride.

The semiconductors industry has put its eyes on two-dimensional (2D) materials produced by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) because they can be grown at the wafer level with small thickness fluctuations, which is necessary to build electronic devices and circuits. However, CVD-grown 2D materials can contain significant amounts of lattice distortions, which degrades the performance at the device level and increases device-to-device variability. Here we statistically analyse the quality of commercially available CVD-grown hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) from the most popular suppliers.

The potential of memristive devices for applications in nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing has sparked considerable interest, particularly in exploring memristive effects in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials. However, the progress in developing nonvolatile, magnetic field-free memristive devices using 2D magnets has been limited. In this work, we report an electrostatic-gating-induced nonvolatile memristive effect in CrI-based tunnel junctions.

Effect of oxygen vacancy and Si doping on the electrical properties of TaO in memristor characteristics.

The resistive switching behavior in TaO based memristors is largely controlled by the formation and annihilation of conductive filaments (CFs) that are generated by the migration of oxygen vacancies (OVs). To gain a fundamental insight on the switching characteristics, we have systematically investigated the electrical transport properties of two different TaO polymorphs ([Formula: see text]-TaO and λ-TaO), using density functional theory calculations, and associated vacancy induced electrical conductivity using Boltzmann transport theory. The projected band structure and DOS in a few types of OVs, (two-fold (OV), three-fold (OV), interlayer (OV), and distorted octahedral coordinated vacancies (OV)) reveal that the presence of OV would cause TaO to transition from a semiconductor to a metal, leading to improved electrical conductivity, whereas the other OV types only create localized mid-gap defect states within the bandgap.

Nano -Se Peninsulas Embedded in Natively Oxidized 2D TiSe Enable Uniform and Fast Memristive Switching.

Memristive devices, regardless of their potential applications in memory and computing scenarios, still suffer from large cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device variations due to the stochastic growth of conductive filaments (CFs). In this work, we fabricated a crossbar memristor using the 2D TiSe material and then oxidized it into TiO in the atmosphere at a moderate temperature. Such a mild oxidation approach fails to evaporate all Se into the air, and after further annealing using thermal or electrical stimulations, the remnant Se atoms gather near the interfaces and grow into nanosized crystals with relatively high conductivity.
